y Fig.' 6 is va fragmentaryvieW-in perspective of an end of the clampingband shown in Fig. 2, but with an alternate form of projecting lip.

Referring more particularly to the disclosure set forth in theillustrativeV embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 5 of thedrawing, thernovel holderY I is shown mounted between spacedcircumferential beads or ridges 2, 2 formed on the circumference orperiphery of a-receptacle 3 shown as provided with a pouring lip orspout Yil. This` receptacle may be voi any suitable oonstruction andconfiguration, but is preferably prog vided With an enlargement orspaced beads for accommodating the holder l.

The holder is constructed of a band 5 of lany interengagement, theinvention comprehends a` bolt lil seating in the base of the end 6 andprovided with flat sides ll, Il. This bolt passes through an elongatedslot I2 in the end 1 of the parting from the spirit of the invention;and the right is hereby'reserved to make all such changes as 'fairlyfall vvithinrthe scope of the following claims,Y Y f y The inventionVs'llereby claimedv as follows: l. Aholder for a receptaclecomprisingarresilient band havingsubstantially flat free ends adapted tooverlap over a wide range of adjust-v Yment to encompass receptacles ofdiierentrsizes, the outer surfaceYo-f one of said free-ends and Y theVinner surface of thev other end, respe'etively,V having complementarytransverse serrations locking engagement.

2. A yholderfo'r a receptacle comprising a re- .silientband having freeendsk adapted to adjustably overlap, tlie outer'suriace of one end andthe inner surface ofthe otherr end, respectively,

having complementary interlocking projections, Y

Y means to facilitate adjustment of the `ends oi said band inVinterloclsing.; engagement, and means for securing the ends .of Saidband in interlocking engagement. Y

In vcombination-With a receptacle, aholder for said receptacle for facilitating lifting, carrying andpouring the contents therefrom,' comprising aband adapted to adjustablyencompass the receptacle, said band being split and having substantiallyflat free ends in overlapping en-Y gagement around the periphery ofthereceptacle, said free ends having complementary projections adapted tointerlock over a wide range of adjustment to encompass receptaclesV ofdiiferentlsizes,

means for locking the free ends in adjusted posisaid band, the other endof said band beingY pro-V Y vided with anY elongated slot for receivingsaid screw threaded member, a member extending outwardly from said bandnear each end thereof Vand providing for drawing the ends of the bandinto overlapping relationship tightly to encompass the receptacle, andmeans on said screw threaded member for locking the serrated portionsofthe band together.v

' 6. A" holder for a receptacle comprising a resilient'band havingsubstantially flat free ends *adapted to overlap over a wide range ofadjust- Vmentito encompass receptacles of different sizes,

Vthe outei` surface Yoffene of said free ends and the Vinner surface ofthe other end, respectively, having complementary transverse serrationsadapted to interlock when overlapped, and means for securing the ends ofsaid band in overlapping 'locking engagement, each of said ends havingan opening therein adapted to receive said securing means, said securingmeans comprising a bolt having av shank portion with a flat side, andone of the openings in the band having a atfside cooperating with saidflat side ofthe bolt whereby rotation of the bolt is avoided.
